Is it Eartha Kitt, or are we dealing with a personality disorder? The story takes place in 1940s America and the present day in Portugal, where a young non- binary singer is inspired, reflects, lives, and expands. The narrative follows their search for artistic identity, fear of death, and intense dialogues within a universe of oppression, violence, and industry. The play delves into the protagonist’s life as they confront the pressures of fame, question their cultural roots in a globalized world, and redefine artistic success in personal rather than commercial terms. Enhanced with electronic music, synthesizers, and live jazz, the piece creates an intimate space—a pub and an experimental cave—using a device that integrates live musicians. This approach guides and accompanies the performativity of the central figure, immersing the audience in the multifaceted life of an entertainer. Themes of the American dream, entertainment, and the survival of art are explored. The play questions who determines what survives, who the artist is, and who we are trying to entertain.
